WHERE DUST SETTLES HISTORY RISES
WHAT IS JERICHO
Tucked away on Old Route 66 in the Texas Panhandle, Jericho is more that just a ghost town - it's a storybook waiting to be reopened. From muddy tracks that swallowed Model T's to moonshine secrets and mid-century roadside diners, this place has grit, charm, and mystery.
In its heyday, it was home to a schoolhouse, cafes, cotton gins, and on of the muddiest road stretches on the Mother Road, The Jericho Gap. Travelers got stuck here. Stories got passed around. Stories of the Hamlin Boys getting busted with a still right at their very home.
But when Route 66 was rerouted, Jericho slowly faded into the dust. Now, only a few structures remain - and a whole lot of stories waiting to be uncovered.
Today, thanks to grassroots efforts and the Jericho Legacy Foundation, we're bringing those stories back to life.

WHY WE'RE PRESERVING JERICHO
We're preserving Jericho not just for history's sake, but to create a place where the past meets possibility. Through restoration, storytelling, events and education, the Jericho Legacy Foundation is breathing life back into the dust.
